TwrQuake



TwrQuake (also known as TwrQuake III) is a Quake III Modification (soon ioQuake3 as well) that is designed for beginner players or more "casual" quakers.

The idea of the game came from the lead developer - Twrmois, when playing Quake Live with friends. Quote

"Im rather good in Quake, to the point where I wanted to join CTF leagues and TDM leagues/Tourneys. However when I play with friends I have to lower my skill purposely to ensure a balanced game. They are more used to games such as Call of Duty and Battlefield that its hard to grasp the gameplay of Quake. In those fps games focusing on perfect accuracy and grabbing the right weapon is not a major importance. I wanted to make a mod for us, and possibly extreme beginners out there, who can play a more "sutible" game."

The mod changes alot of the "gameplay" itself, such as making players have adjusted air control, increasing their overall speed, making multi rocket jumping more easier, and the most important, making it more easy to get a kill. At that last statement, it does NOT mean that "the weapons kill others with one or two shots or from extreme distances". The weapons have properly edited variables that change their weapon fire rates, accuracy, spread, and damage to 'legitimate and fair variables. 'Do not compare to various damage changing mods on Q3 ("Rapid Instagib/Unlimited accuracy") as it is a more controlled mod.
